Playstation 4 Games Warn of PS-Style Surveillance

The debut of the PlayStation 4 in New York City Wednesday (Feb. 20) was as remarkable for what it showed as for what it didn't show: Sony unveiled a raft of beautiful, incredibly realistic new games, but not the console itself. The device, perhaps in a straight-from-the-lab rough appearance, was somewhere offstage, driving the giant projectors that broadcast previews of upcoming games around the Hammerstein Ballroom.

I highly doubt it because Sony have been debating whether or not to include the camera with the PS4 at launch

So if they are debating whether or not to include it then it must be optional or you don't need to use it. Why would they not bundle it a key thing to play games with and make you pay extra for a camera on top of your console purchase.

"The PlayStation network will get to know you by understanding your personal preferences and the preferences of your community and turn this knowledge into useful information that will enhance your gameplay,"

Sounds like a nice way of saying Big Brother is watching. From what I read it may be the same as the rumor of the Kinect always watching you and taking that knowledge and offering things based on your behavior or spending trends.

It's computed thinking basically. Like iphone genius featured. I.E. based on me downloading angry birds, it suggest angry cows. Same game but with cows! I might like it since its similar.. whats this big brother thing you're talking about?

P.S. if you have no ad blocker on, ads can show things based on what you like from sites you go on.

I haven't heard anything about always on camera, but how is predictions any different than having an account on Amazon, or downloaded apps on your smartphone being suggested based on the TYPE of apps they are? Its not like the system doesn't know every single item you bought already. Its just streamlining things for you based on habits. How is that a bad thing?
